IPhone :: How To Confirm That It Unlocked
Jun 5, 2012
Recently unlocked my iphone 3gs through att. Did the process, everything seemed to go fine, but I can't tell if it's unlocked or not. People say the way to tell is to put in another sim card, so I put in a chinese sim card and it said no service. Havent used that sim card in a year, so it may be deactivated. I dont have any other sim cards now, but want to use it with a new sim card this summer. The only difference I can tell with the phone is that in settings, there was an option to select carrier, is this an indication that the phone is unlocked?

I have a new iphone 4 which was provided as part of a new business contract through a telecoms company not Orange. The Orange sim came separately. However the 3g web access is painfully bad as compared to my old 3gs iphone on T-mobile. It's pretty much useless in most parts of London.Which brings me to my question. Is there any way of telling if my new iphone4 is unlocked without having to buy a new mini sim card? Any way of checking through the firmware or something?I was seriously thinking there was something wrong with my phone but all my colleagues on Orange also have the same problem. We were out on a course yesterday and I had my old 3gs whilst everyone else had their new iphone4 and I was the only one able to access mail and use the web the whole way there on the train and at the actual centre itself, which a lot of my colleagues were none to pleased about. I presume it's Orange being a bit rubbish and not the new iphone4 having a weaker signal reception?

After the 48 hour waiting period please follow the instructions below."can I unlock my iphone4 now? How can I confirm my iPhone had been unlocked?

I have 3 iphones (all 3gs using AT&T), as well as 4 macs. I bought two iphones from an ebay seller in Hong Kong, to be used in Russia. These are said to be new and factory unlocked, from the factory in China. They have ios 5.01 and look new. How could I confirm they're factory unlocked and not jailbroken?

I've been trying to unlock my AT&T iPhone 4 and went through all the procedures with the carier, got the confirmation email from Apple, and have been trying to do the backup restore through iTunes... but haven't gotten the confirmation message in iTunes that the phone is unlocked. I've been restoring from backup, which I think is what I'm supposed to do.I'm trying to avoid the $30 tech support call since my phone is no longer and I'm already outside the US.

I talk to AT&T yesterday and they said since I was a loyal customer I was eligible for the full upgrade for this phone which would be $299.Can anyone confirm that the Reserved email that Apple is sending out is just saying the full retail price, then when you pick the phone up you will be charged the upgrade price?Please help

Last week I was updating some apps on my iphone and suddenly it crashed - pretty bad. Indeed it was the first time my phone ever asked me to be plugged into itunes for a complete restore. So I did. I was a bit nervous because I have over 300 apps on it, all organized in folders and I wasn't entirely sure it would re-install them the same way. so the good news, it did - all in their proper folder, on their proper page. I was missing over 60 apps! When the restore occurred, I noticed it said it was restoring from a backup dated august 2011. I know for a fact that I updated/backed-up my iphone since then, maybe 2 or 3 times, but obviously my backups did not occur as I had thought.
How do I know if my backup is properly done? Is there a place I can check to make sure, or view the backup date? I should say that I had previously noticed that it wasn't taking as long as it should to do the backups - as you can imagine with 300 apps, it takes more than a few minutes. So I did have a flag on the question, but I didn't press it on, and well... i paid the price. (Btw, I did recover all my 62 missing apps by painstakingly going through my itune purchase history - at no extra cost other than my time. the info inputted in some apps was however gone). My iphone is a 3G (I need to upgrade that soon) runs on iOS 4.2.1 (cannot upgrade to iOS 5 with this hardware). I always run the latest itunes (presently version 10.6.1).

When I use voice dial (usually via bluetooth headset on iPhone 3GS), if the iPhone decides it has found an exact match, it will notify me of the match and then start dialing. It does not confirm the match with me, and when it starts dialing, the "Cancel" keyword does not work - nor does pressing the call button on my headset do anything.
Instead, I have to frantically dig my phone out of my pocket and scramble to the phone interface and presss "End Call" before the accidental international call goes through.
Is there a way to allow either or both actions in iOS? Or is there a way to submit an enhancement request?

So, I just bought a JB'en iphone 3g tonight.Went ahead and unlocked it using ultrasn0w.Connected it to my mac/itunes, and it asks "an iphone has been previously synced with this computer. setup as a new iphone -or- restore the backup of ***"So, since I had purchased apps using my *** phone (actually was an ipod touch that i got rid of), I'm thinking that I should restore the backup so that I can get my paid apps back for free.
Questions:
-will restoring this backup to the new unlocked phone restore it to its original locked state (i.e. will i have to re-jailbreak/unlock)? or will it simply restore preferences, etc...?
-otherwise, if i call this phone a new name, is there a way to transfer my purchased apps to the new phone's account?

each time I delete a message, I have to confirm. How can I disable that on the Lumia 920?
Also, I spend a long time trying to figure out why my phone did not come with Nokia Music in denmak, after alomost 1 hour searching on the net, I found out that the service do not exist in Denmark... Why not just have the Nokia Music in the App store and just show a message when people try to install it, saying that its not availble in the user's country?

I just upgraded from my old Curve 8330 to the Tour 9630, both on Verizon, and I couldn't be happier with my new device -- except for one thing. The Curve had a great "standby" function I could use at night, in which the phone would lock its keyboard and effectively shut down, but still be able to receive calls if one came in. This also saved lots of battery power. After hours' worth of mashing the top "lock" and "mute" buttons on the Tour, and searching through the internal menus, I can't seem to find a similar mode on my new phone.
First: If there's a thread about this already somewhere else, I beg your pardon; I'd be grateful for a link and I'll be on my way there. But if not, does anybody know whether some devices just do not have a standby mode anymore as part of OS 5, or whether there might be something wrong with my phone because its mute key won't activate standby mode?
The key lock button the top left works, but, at least on my Curve, the key lock and standby were two very different things -- I'd lock the keyboard when I put the phone in my pocket, but I'd put it on standby before bed every night. Does key-lock mode on the Tour replace standby?

I bought an iPhone 3GS on iDay, and now wanna sell it in anticipation of the 4gen, OK, so I knew 3.1.3 with Modem 5.12 can't be unlocked, so I've kept hitting ignore on upgrade from 3.1.2, so I have 3.1.2 with modem 5.11 on there, so I think it can be unlocked no problem. OK, so my question is: How can I restore and erase all my info while keeping 3.1.2 intact? Just hit option-restore? THen how to jb and unlock? Blackrain and then how to unlock? And the last question, isn't there a way to upgrade to 3.1.3 while keeping 5.11 intact? Superbowl Sunday something?

I purchased a IPhone 4S from SFR and after completing three months, requested them to unlock my phone. They have sent me a mail that my phone is unlocked but actually it is not. I called the customer care of Apple to confirm that they have not received any request for unlocking my mobile. I am calling SFR customer care every week to solve this problem, but there is no response from their side.

I'm buying a unlocked iPhone 4s from craigslist tomorrow. I just need to know how I can verify if it is unlocked. I have an old AT&T sim card I used to use for my iPhone 4. Not sure if that would work. I just want to make sure it isn't sprint, or verizon with a bad ESN or something. I just want to make sure I can use the phone.
